Backward lasing yields a perfect absorber
It is well known that an amplifying medium embedded in an optical cavity, i.e., a laser oscillator, can emit coherent electromagnetic radiation when the gain coefficient of photons in the medium reaches a threshold value that balances the light leakage out of the cavity [1]. The emitted radiation escapes from the cavity in the form of outgoing monochromatic waves, usually along preferred spatia...
متن کاملCoherent perfect absorption and laser modes in a cylindrical structure of conjugate metamaterials
In this work, we theoretically find that coherent perfect absorption (CPA) and lasermodes can be realized in a two-dimensional cylindrical structure composed of conjugatemetamaterials (CMs). The required phase factors of CMs for achieving CPA and lasermodes are determined by the geometric size of theCMcylinder, which is a unique feature comparedwith other non-Hermitian optical systems. Based on...
متن کاملUltrathin and lightweight microwave absorbers made of mu-near-zero metamaterials
We present a theory of perfect absorption in a bilayer model composed of a mu-near-zero (MNZ) metamaterial (MM) absorbing layer on a metallic substrate. Our analytical solutions reveal that a MM layer with a large purely imaginary permeability and a moderate permittivity backed by a metallic plane has a zero reflection at normal incidence when the thickness is ultrathin. The impedance-mismatche...
متن کاملA multiband perfect absorber based on hyperbolic metamaterials
In recent years, considerable research efforts have been focused on near-perfect and perfect light absorption using metamaterials spanning frequency ranges from microwaves to visible frequencies. This relatively young field is currently facing many challenges that hampers its possible practical applications. In this paper, we present grating coupled-hyperbolic metamaterials (GC-HMM) as multiban...
متن کاملElectrodynamics analysis on coherent perfect absorber and phase-controlled optical switch.
A coherent perfect absorber is essentially a specially designed Fabry-Perot interferometer, which completely extinguishes the incident coherent light. The one- and two-beam coherent perfect absorbers have been analyzed using classical electrodynamics by considering index matching in layered structures to totally suppress reflections. This approach presents a clear and physically intuitive pictu...
